Distributors Part 1
Author: Duhndal,
published 1 month ago,
This is the first of two parts of the distributor update, we split this update into two parts since many players have felt that they have too much product to sell using just dealers. Making both parts of the distributor update would take longer, and we wanted to give you the opportunity to sell product in bulk as early as possible.
[h2]About the update[/h2]
Distributors now control the city, each one has a piece of it, their territory, where they operate. [b]Once you have 1000g of any product[/b], the distributor whose territory you’re in, will show up, and ask to make a deal, once he shows up you will be able to see distributors and their territories on the real estate map.
You can now choose to either accept or decline their deal. If you accept the deal, [b]a pallet will show up in front of your property[/b], this is where you will load the product, and where the distributor will show up to collect it. If you decline, the distributor will walk away, but he will come back one day later, with a new deal.
To package product for a distributor, all you have to do is go to your packaging table, and click on the “distributor” tab, from here you will be able to get an overview of the order, as well as [b]package the order in chunks of 1000g packages[/b].
Once it’s time for the distributor to pick up the product, he will send you a text message, and arrive to pick up the order shortly after. Here he will pay you and walk away with the product. Using a distributor also gives a [b]great amount of EXP.[/b]
But note: You can only fulfil a distributor's order while you are in his territory.
[h2]About part 2:[/h2]
As mentioned, this update is split in two. Here is what you can expect in part 2 of the distributor update.
Declining orders will not just make the distributor go away, but you might make yourself an enemy, if he thinks you’re overstepping in his territory. The distributors will falsely call the police to your place, meaning you will have to hide and pause production while the police check you out. The distributor will also try to catch and beat your dealers, meaning you will lose the product he was dealing, and potentially also the dealer himself.
But he won’t be able to make your life miserable forever, since you will also be able to defeat the distributor entirely and overtake his territory! Once defeated, you will be able to deal in his former territory with your product in bulk yourself, meaning a smaller cut will be taken from your product.
